I will text the following slugs: GM
Hi guru, thanks for calling.A couple of quick questions that came to mind and was hoping to get clarified:
1-Are we running stats for the Australian games? (assuming yes, but these are quite a bit before the rest of the league starts)
2-on the rule "In season, a salary cap of $320- will be enforced. The initial waiver run (the Friday before the season) is considered "in season" and has the extended cap. "
Does this include FAAB bid players? Or is the salary cap just for auctioned players? And this salary cap is enforced for the following year?
For example, if I have a 2014 Mike Trout at $40.00 - and keep him for $45, 2015, the $45 value counts against the 320?
think that's it for now....I may have a question or 6 more as this gets closer.

By all means don't explain the rules that differ. I set up the league quickly, but haven't had a talk with Zilla about finalizing rules - I assume you're talking about roster makeup or something? Roto 5x5 with OBP I believe is pretty locked in.We got some rules finalized? The site rules are different than what zilla posted
Also, not sure how you do your auction. What if someone isn't bid on? Is that person stuck with him? At what cost?

When you put a player up for auction you are bidding on him...at least $1. If no one else bids, he's yours.
Well to very well, I'd say.How are we holding up in here?
Keep in mind those rules were from a similar/old league that he cut and pasted. I'll talk with him tomorrow and we'll get the rules finalized asap. I do know he's on board with OBP.I think I saw 1500 IPBy all means don't explain the rules that differ.

BA instead of OBP
Standard waivers
Daily lineups
I just had seen zilla post he was against daily lineups and IP limit and didn't know if those (or anything else) were still up to be changed.
Free Agent Acquisition Budget.And speaking of which - if you run out of FAAB money, are you still able to pickup players if no one else bids on them?What does FAAB stand for, exactly?
Yes, iirc there is FCFS period after biddingAlso if you pick up a player after a certain date, I think it was in August, they are not keepable the following yearFree Agent Acquisition Budget.And speaking of which - if you run out of FAAB money, are you still able to pickup players if no one else bids on them?What does FAAB stand for, exactly?
Right, I think the date was 7/31however, lets say you pickup a player on fcfs waiver - is there a dollar amount to keep for next year?Yes, iirc there is FCFS period after biddingAlso if you pick up a player after a certain date, I think it was in August, they are not keepable the following yearFree Agent Acquisition Budget.And speaking of which - if you run out of FAAB money, are you still able to pickup players if no one else bids on them?What does FAAB stand for, exactly?
I have a local league that is very similar to this one and we do Mon/Thurs FAAB bidding, no FCFS. Twice a week is nice to make sure you're not more than a couple days without a player due to injury and FAAB is good because it ensures every player has a salary amount.I believe in the rules I posted on page 1 - there were no FCFS pickups, only the twice weekly FAAB run (Friday and Sunday). Those rules are only there as an example of how the old league worked though. We should definitely work out what makes the most sense for FA pickups. Also, I am not in charge, as my days are too pwned by work anymore. I am merely another league member and special consultant to the commissioner. Happy to help guide and clarify on any of these rules though, as I pulled a lot of of them out of my culo in the first place.
X also might be able to hook us up on CBS.Yeah we might end up just wanting to pitch in and let CBS bend us over. We'll see how Yahoo is
Is that on yahoo? If so, it's wrong.Why such small rosters? (3xOF, no MI or CI)
and what's up with the SP and RP slots?
OK, so where are the real rules?Is that on yahoo? If so, it's wrong.Why such small rosters? (3xOF, no MI or CI)

It looks like it changed everything I had set up...maybe because I changed the auction date, I don't know.OK.

Are the five bench spots auctioned or drafted? If the latter, how are their prices set?
Yeah, I vote daily rosters. I'm pretty lazy anyway, but having a guy get injured on Tuesday and miss the rest of the week is the worst. With FAAB only, it's also extremely difficult to be streaming pitchers/hitters each week.Right now I have a 1500 IP cap on and daily roster changes. I know these have been Zilla bugaboos in the past. So maybe we need to chat more on those topics.
Advantage to weekly: Laziness, avoid having to constantly research players
Advantage to daily: get hurt dudes out asap, play traded guys asap, etc.
The innings cap helps to avoid streaming starters to gain points in Wins/Ks, but having FAAB only and just twice weekly also limits how much you can stream, so maybe it's redundant.
Yes, $260 auction budget for all 30 players (23 starters and 7 bench)Yeah, I vote daily rosters.

And Eephus asked before, but can you confirm that the auction budget includes all starters and bench players?
This is going to extend the auction. I'm on the west coast so I don't really care but it's starting at 8:30 EST and is going to run into the wee hours.Yes, $260 auction budget for all 30 players (23 starters and 7 bench)Yeah, I vote daily rosters.

Love FAAB, what's not to like? It takes away the rat race to be the first to grab someone.I strongly prefer daily rosters. It eliminates the two starts/week nonsense and gives more value to platoon players.
I'm not a huge fan of FAAB but will tolerate if it's the majority position. I do think that only players picked in the pre-season auction should be eligible as keepers.
I'd be ok with this if the 7 round reserve guys were all a buck or something. Heck, we could slow auction the leftover a thread or something too.This is going to extend the auction.

I'd propose auctioning off the 23 starters with a $260 budget and then hold the 7 round reserve draft on this board. This is a throwback to the original Rotisserie rules from the 80s. Players picked in the reserve draft or picked up during the season would be ineligible for keepers.
Still holding to about a pick a minute here. On the 20th player. I assume it will get much faster too when the bigger names are gone.This yahoo software is pretty slick.
We've auctioned off 4 players in about 5 mins.
